Dear Postfix admins,

What's the best way to rate limit our outbound mail rate ? We're using an
upstream spam / virus service to filter our outbound email but they
sometimes block us, when we are sending too much mail. We have been advised
to send no more than 50 messages per connection, and to use fewer than 50
concurrent connections.  What's the best way to achieve this in postfix?

We're using postfix 2.10.2
We have a transport map, with some local transport rules, and then a match
all rule sending

*  :  smtp:relayhost.upstream.com


My question is can I acheive this outflow rate limiting with the
smtp_destination_concurrency limits, or should I be using the equavellent
relay_destination_concurrency_limit or some other configuration ?

smtp_destination_concurrency_limit = 40
smtp_destination_recipient_limit = 40

relay_destination_concurrency_limit = 40
relay_destination_recipient_limit = 40

Thanks

Paul
